Re: [ga] Early Warning: CAIDA Analysis of IPv4 consumption rates

Danny,
this kind of "prediction" is of low interest. What is of interest for 
us users is the date of the impact of this shortage on our ability to 
use the Internet as we should. This date is a long ago. It is exactly 
when HTTP 1.1. has been deemed necessary, with a virtual host routing 
on unconsistant names instead of IP addresses. That day NATs were 
legitimated. The Internat was borned. The Internat may very well be 
the future of the Internet.
